MID SOUTH TOYS FOR TOTS 2025

Love toys for tots! Great experience.

1. What skills did you develop or improve through this service experience?
- I learned how to communicate more. I usually have social anxiety when talking to people, but this experience helped me better communicate with people.
2. What did you learn about the community or environment you served?
- What I learned about the community in which I served was that this organization really cares about those in need. Every kid deserves to open gifts on Christmas Day and this is exactly what Toys for Tots strives for.
3. Did you work individually or as part of a team, and how did that impact your experience?
- I worked with two different people, and it made volunteering more enjoyable since I went alone. I met two great women and had good conversations with them.
4. Do you plan to continue volunteering with this organization? Why or why not?
- I would volunteer here again. This is actually my third year volunteering here and I always enjoy being there.
5. Did your service align with your personal values and beliefs? If not, how did you handle any conflicts?
- This service did align with my personal values and beliefs. As a Christian, I believe it is a good thing to serve others because we are called to serve one another.
